Work Description:

This typewritten catalog lists the known artworks associated with the exhibition “Paintings by Clyfford Still” at the San Francisco Museum of Art in California. On view March 2 through March 21, 1943, the retrospective featured a selection of figurative and abstract paintings that spanned the early years of Still’s career. According to the museum’s accession files, the artist submitted thirty-two paintings in total: ten “portraits and landscapes” and twenty-two “less realistic pictures”, although not all of the artworks were shown. The absence of detailed documentation complicates the act of determining which specific artworks were ultimately displayed; however, the accompanying installation photographs serve as visual records that confirm the majority of the paintings presented in Still’s first significant one-person exhibition.
